I am working on a test installation of DotNetNuke Community Edition running on a 64bit Windows 7 box with IIS Express and SQL Express Server 2008 through WebMatrix.  DNN's version is 6.01.02(98) and it is using .NET 3.5.

Occasionally, as I look through the default test site, try to enter edit mode, access the admin or host pages it will stop loading and leave me with a white screen.  Checking the page in Firebug on Firefox or Chrome shows me that module.css, skin.css, or another seemingly static file is failing to load.  

If I let the connection time out on these files, and refresh the page, everything will load fine and I will be able to continue on my way.  If I try to refresh the page without letting the css connection time out, the wait seems to be indefinite.

I have not touched the site's css and as far as I can tell, that is the only thing keeping pages from being accessible: manually terminating the downloads gives me a usable but ugly page. 

The problem seems to be tied to the CMS,  IIS Express can serve up ordinary C# and VB pages fine.

Does anyone know why this would happen, or what I can do so I can start experimenting with DotNetNuke?

I've not heard of that happening - i'd suggest running a httpproxy such as fiddler so you can see the requests as they occur and see if the trace provides any further clues.

Well, I've installed an older version of DNN 5.6.6 straight into inetpub following the instructions on the website, and I'm still getting the same sort of problems. Nicholas in the other thread had suggested it was the Client Dependency Framework, but that seems not to be the case.

I will download fiddler and see what can be seen.

Sorry about the double thread.

it wont be the client dependency framework as that was only introduced in 6.1.0 - I'd recommend you check out if it's an iisexpress issue (i.e. try hosting in IIS)
